toonsaspie, I saw clips from that show and the documentary! Some of it looked good, some of it looked bad. The dwarfs masks look okay from far away to me but they could've been better, les creepy. But the witch, her transformation was ingeniusly great and she was very, very scary like some kind of nightmarish psychotic murderer!
Dragonlion, Snow White is supposed to be more innocent than an average person, she is supposed to be pure good and incapable of thinking of anything bad. Her character is a good, kind one, the fairest one of all.
Thanks for the info Rudy Matt, you're probably right about all that, though I still consider those Oscars as also a way of saying, "Your film deserved the Best Picture Oscar, or something almost as signifigant".
Thanks Divinity. I guess it is an alternate view. Did you read Paradise Lost? Not that I did, just wondering if you did. Wicked's really good, if you like the witches and magic of Oz a lot, you would like that book a lot. It's a lot deeper and I do think better than the Broadway show, but I also love the Broadway show.
Even though I have yet to watch Snow White's recent Platinum and see the film again, I don't even have to see the film recently to remember the scenes, showing how good it is, to say:
"Someday My Princes Will Come" and "I'm Wishing" doesn't mean sit and wait for someone to take you away from all your troubles, but that the one who you want and will make you happiest will come, wait for that someone who will make you happiest, and it would be nice to go to the place they live which, castle or other, will be a happier place with you two together. Snow White clearly was happy in the cottage, the Prince didn't bring all her happiness.
Like Sleeping Beauty, the film touches on our hope to overcome death, and says we can, but this film did it first. It's good for a film to tell us that since science cannot measure the soul, and it's not true that the world is a dark place where things only end negatively. The truth is bad things happen but good things will come, too.
The film's shows off nicely what people to day to day. It doesn't just show only dramatic things, but alos shows us that cleaning the house, cooking, washing, and dancing can be interesting, fun, and enjoyable to do and watch. Though I certainly wouldn't argue that the film might be better with something more interesting or dramatic replacing dwarf washing...it also shows us that a film can be made up of mostly happy moments and be entertaining instead of mostly dark, villanous, or sad moments, though other Disney films make daily household doings fun and have more happy than negative moments as well.
The film is powerful. It is one of the best of the best. It can be ranked next to Beauty and the Beast and the greatest films. It's ending is grandly, beatifically breathtaking, and I must admit it may be the best or most powerful happily ever after ending, cinematically and feeling-wise, out of all Disney films and maybe all films. Darn how good it is with it's heavenly castle!
